Description:

2005 has rolled on by, and 2006 has beat down the door. This has been quite a year of hard-knocks: a hurricane bashing our Gulf Coast, a tsunami washing away Sumatra, and an earthquake shattering Pakistan. Poet and musician Napoleon Maddox, from the jazz/hip-hop unit IsWhat!? takes the punches in stride and w(raps)-up 2005 with a hard-hitting commentary -- in rap form -- that will undoubtably shakeup its listeners.

The W(rap)-Up is a hip-hop summation of events in 2005 written and performed by hip-hop poet Napoleon Maddox and co-written and produced by Simon Rentner at Murray Street Productions. It's an amalgamation of hip-hop, news and commentary.
